Two Collisions on Main Street.

There were q couple of collisions on Main
street yesterday evening about dark, each
occurring OF Main, one below, the other
above Broadway. In one q buggy driven by
a. couple OF young men collided with the
whippletree OF a Walkerxille express. Both
we're going in tho same direction south, and
when. near Broadway the express swerved
in. front: Of the buggy. The driver. a young
man raised among horses from childhood,
not looking for the turn, was taken off his
guard. His horse, a livery. one, as gentle as
any in town. was startled by the shock,
though slight, aud gave one bound, which
ierked the driver over the dashboard. and
he fell to the street, between the buggy and
the horse. He Immediately crawled out
between the wheels and emerged at the
back of the vehicle without a scratch, but
none too soon as the horse commenced
kicking violently. A couple OF inches
knocked off the whippletree Al all the
damage sustained by either vehicle.
g a.". a THE OTHER COLLISION --.
was Of a two-wheeled cart driven by a lady
which came, in contact with a buggy, also
going in the same irection-this time north
one Of, the wheels of the buggy.
The occupants of the cart were evidently
naware of the damage done, as they drove
on as if nothing had happened.

But now that we are advised that a crisis

that q Especial meeting of tho Board OF
Trade be at once called for the purpose OF

Orders hive BEEN issued on the authority

Alice, one Of the pioneer mining and
milling institutions of Butte; that
unless better terms can be secured for the
transportation Of salt, the works will. be
shut down October LIST. This would be a
public calamity rs 1877 men would be
thrownou Of employment, which would
mean that at the least $500
people would be devoid of the means OF
support. The Alice has been running a
long time and most of the men have large
families dependent upon them. Every
mercantile outfit would be sufferer by
this shutting down.. And the company
cannot be held. blamable. Under the
present conditions, dividends are i'm

Poor "Nick" Jackson

It is singular that this poor demented
individual Is allowed to tramp around our
streets from place to place, the sport of
tormcnting boys and even men, and that
too, in an enlightened christian com
munity, without proper care and atten-
ton. If Nick was in q city where
there was society for the prevention of
cruelty to animals, we are sure there
would be some care and attention paid
him and he would be put in some institu-
ton. He is a poor, pitiful creature, and
should not be allowed to wNher our
streets as he does.

Look Out for Them.

Counterfeit silver dollars are said to be

as to be calculated to deceive almost any

Invaded by Bandits.

AUSTIN, Tex, Oct. 27.-Gov. Ross re
ceived letter yesterday from the county
judge OF Starr county stating that that
county was invaded by bands OF bandits
and cut-lhroa!s. and that the local officers
were powerless. Numerous instances
of atrocious crimes were mentioned
The judge further stated that the
authorities on the Mexican side are
ready and willing to do everything in
their power to rid the county of these char.
actefs and are only waiting for action to be
taken BY the United States or by Texas
Gov. Ross replied as follows: prior to the
receipt of your communication, which was
the first one reaching me from an official
source, had ordered Ranger force to the
relief Of your people. Rest assured that the
full power of the State government will ba
exercised in your behalf"

The Location of Mt. Vernon Avenue

The Location Of Mt. Vernon Avenue.
In the work of determining the permanent
location of the avenue there will doubtless
be great conflict OF opinions, and rot few
of the land holders living within radius of
of FIVE or six miles below Alexandria will be
greatly disappointed when the matter shall
have been fixed and settled. OF course
every man would like to have the ''great
highway" to pass within convenient dis
lance of his homestead, no matter how
round about the course, nor bow great the
difficulties and expenses of construction.
We have not been looking at this prcject as
real estate speculation got up IL the in
terests of any syndicate or clique merely to
boom the prices Of anybody's lands and TO
make few people rich at The expense OF
the national treasury, but we have viewed
it from the first as movement to add an.
other national memorial to the great chief
tain whose name ard fame We all delight to
praise and honor by conveniently connect
ing his beautiful city with his home and
sepulchre and it seems TO us that In de-
termining the route, the considerations
which should mainly weigh with those who
shall have that important matter in charge
are L0OSb Vi Ill lue pOoSluiO oOGlCSo az
command for making the way one
which will be delightful and interest
ing to the throDgs OF travellers of every
land and cline who shall journey over
it. By route which has already been prospected
and roughly mapped out for examination 1--WE
speak now of the stretch below Alexandria) such
sources exi st to remarkable extent and diversity
all along its course. This route lies for five miles
along the SUBMITS OF the river crests through
level or gently undulating fields, checkered by
tho lines of an improving husbandry and dotted
over by pleasant homesteads, nearly all of which
lie within the former boundaries of Washington's
estate By this way tho tourist may have con-
tinual surprises Of natural scenery and objects Of
interest The broad bosom Of the Potomac, with
its grand Slopes its sails and steamers its foriii
will DO continually in his view, a most beautiful
and varied panorama of which he will not tire.
And while the foregoing desirable and essen
is another that should have its due weight and
influence, and that is tho favorable conditions
which it affords in tho nature Of the grounds
over which it would pass for the laying and con-
struction OF great highway. The builders would
find no marshes nor quicksands, but solid ground
everywhere, with stone for bad foundation and
gravel and sand in variety abundant and conve-
nent It is understood that q reconnaissance will
be made by tho association committee over tho
lands gouth of Alexandria in few days when
their attention will be called to the various adj
vantages Of the route to which re have referred.
